The 'Juncaceae of the N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium' collection aims to contribute to the discovery, description and analysis of this important cosmopolitan family of monocots across the world, with a special focus on Australia, through collection, exchange, curation and study of high quality herbarium specimens and associated activities and collections based at the N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium. The N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium holds approximately 1,000 specimens of Juncaceae, nearly all of which were collected in Australia. The collection includes over 100 distinct species of Juncaceae. Specimens have been collected from all Australian states and the Australian Capital Territory. Specimens from outside Australia have been collected in Argentina, China, Denmark, Greenland, Japan, New Zealand, Tanzania, and the United States. The specimen sheet collection of the N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium is databased and available to registered users for online data entry and data query. Records include most standard herbarium label fields (see http://www.une.edu.au/herbarium/collecting.php) as used across Australia (e.g. http://www.anbg.gov.au/cpbr/herbarium/collecting/field-note-book.html) including name, collector(s), locality and habitat.
